The strategic framework delivered by Prime Minister Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama is the best way for forward for Fiji, says Police Commissioner Commodore Esala Teleni.

Commodore Teleni told FijiLive he was particularly pleased with the outline given by the PM on the police force.

“The government’s priority now is the socio-economic life of people and it is important for me as commissioner of police to provide a conducive environment for that in terms of stability and security.

“I have no doubt that it is the best way forward for Fiji and as Police Commissioner the force completely supports it too,” he said.

In his address, Bainimarama said the police force shall be strengthened with the upgrading of communications, transport and forensic tools.

Government recognizes that policing is important to also instill public and investor confidence, added Bainimarama.

“As part of the reforms the archaic Penal Code shall also be revamped,” he said.
